Some funny stories
Once I had a junior programmer writing VB code that needed to know the day of the week. He decided to write his own code, and read something like:
if (day = 1) or (day = 8) or (day = 15) or (day = 22) or (day = 29) then
weekday = "Monday"
elseif (day = 2) or (day = 9) or (day = 16) or (day = 23) or (day = 30) then
weekday = "Tuesday"
...
Trying to be educational I asked him for his opinion about his own code, and he said that he would simply modify it every month.
... and some angry comments
// Either the app is exiting or the world is coming to an end.
// Take your pick.
// I'd trade my office mate for a layout manager.
/* PB, is this right? -- AW */
// Everything is shamelessly stolen and rewritten.
// Feel the consequences of GPL ;-)
... and some hilarious errors
% tar cvf foo.tar
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
In the middle of something innocuous, an angry message box appeared:
Dammit, Darin! I told you not to call me!
